In fact, it's one of the pieces of evidence that supports Zimmerman's claim that Treyvon attacked him.
The fight took place close to Zimmerman's car (literally only about 20m away). Treyvon started running, and Zimmerman got out to pursue. Even if Zimmerman didn't stop the pursuit a short while later at the suggestion of the police dispatcher, you have to believe that Treyvon only covered 20m in the few minutes between the time when Zimmerman said he was running, and the time when the lady called 911 to report the fight. That doesn't seem likely, especially considering that Zimmerman had the fight area in view and yet claimed to have lost sight of Treyvon.
What seems more likely is that Treyvon covered a much further distance, and then decided to double back to confront Zimmerman, whilst Zimmerman was looking for a house number to give to the police.
